I have just taken delivery of one of these unusual beasts. It was a suprise purchase on ebay as I didnt think I would win it for just over a fiver! Cosmetically its OK and I have sorted out a couple of little issues with it. One thing thats wrong is the record deck doesnt work. Im pretty sure the motor will need lubricating which seems common on this type but on opening it up there was one "arm" only connected at he switch and nowhere else. The service manual didnt help me. I have completely removed it now because it was loose. Hopefully you can see it in the picture, its a long wire dogleg type thing!
The pictures were taken when it was in bits and just balanced back together.
The "arm" can be seen bottom left in this next picture. I know where the end nearest the dogleg goes but what about the other end?
I also thought it wood be black all over, the wooden side panels were a suprise. Its a light wood, T1 it says, which wood is that?
At least its been saved from the scrap yard although I have no idea what I will do with it, stick it in a cupboard I expect!
